I think that Huisun might do the trick, thx for the vids..
*edit*
Upon further research, while the HuniSun looks like a great solution for ALPR it is lacking critical API required for an easy implementation..
problems: getting jpeg snapshots are not straight forward, and they purposely locked down API, so getting motion events will be hard.
Had it done like Dahua or Hikvision with a standard and open HTTP API, would pretty easy for me to detect a car going by, grab the jpeg, pass it onto ALPR and store the results in my automation database... but no, they had to be stupid.. now i have to process a rstp stream for motion and difficulty to implement just got a bit harder and required resources went up.
Does this implement ONVIF well? that might be an option but it'd have to be specific.. What are the network storage options on motion? can it dump to a ftp, guess I might be able to catch the file, convert to a bunch of jpegs and then send it through alpr.
